As an opener to the ‘Nordseemesse’ (North Sea exhibition) in Muenster, the ‘North-Sea Tourism’ award was presented for the fourth time. The winner of this year’s prize was Werder Bremen and head coach Thomas Schaaf was on hand to accept the award on behalf of the club.
The ‘North-Sea Tourism’ award is presented by Nordsee GmbH to characters or institutions that have gone out of their way to do something positive for the Lower Saxon, North-Sea coast holiday region.
“Since 2002, Thomas Schaaf has been regularly taking his team to the North Sea in summer to prepare for the start of the season. In doing so, he doesn’t just draw attention to the coastal area but also brings, with Werder Bremen, an extraordinarily popular team to the area”, explained Oliver Melchert, manager of the Nordsee GmbH.
Thomas Schaaf said: “We are really delighted about this award and I can guarantee that we will be coming back to Norderney again this year.”
